Oracle Database 11g: RMAN and Oracle Secure Backup

Overview/Description
RMAN manages the disk space in the Flash Recovery Area, and by putting RMAN in control of your backup and restore operations, you simplify your availability-related processes. This course describes integrated disk and tape backup, how to register the administrative server in Enterprise Manager, checking RMAN backup and recovery settings, creating database backup storage selectors, and using time-managed and content-managed expiration policies. It also explores performing an OSB-encrypted RMAN backup to tape and restoring a data file from a tape backup. You can also back up file-system data by creating on-demand back jobs and submitting them to the OSB scheduler or by using backup schedules. Creating datasets, scheduling file backups, submitting backup requests, and performing file-system backups are also covered.

Target Audience
Database administrators, support engineers, security administrators, data warehouse administrators, sales consultants, technical consultants, and system analysts

Prerequisites
The ability to perform database backup and restore operations in Enterprise Manager at least equivalent to the level of the Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop I course, ideally equivalent to the level of the Oracle Database 11g: Administration Workshop II course

Expected Duration (hours)
